The staying qualities of a Dakota snow
bank were exhibited to-day when q
locomotive of the average size and
weight sailed into a::wintry deposit about
a foot deep, after getting q long start and
attaining q high rate OF speed. The iron
horse went IN about two feet and then
with a groan came to q stop aud backed
up to Try 1t again. The backing opera
ton was repeated several times before
the snow bank yelled huff"
About q month ago a Yankton man
who deals in sewing machines and
jewelry Entrusted to the care of two
Yankton youths two imitation gold
watches. which the young men were to
dispose OF at a certain commission.
These two youths were in the habit OF
discussing Jack pots with others more
apt than themselves, and the watches
finally passed across the green cloth into
the pocket Of a more dexterous associate.
Now the man who gave the watches
to the young men wants them to settle
up and they have neither watches nor
spondulix and therefore something will
probably drop pretty soon.
Last night with the temperance meet
ing held at the Congregational church
there vas closed one OF the most re-
markable temperance agitations ever
held in Dakota, and that the series of
meetings has been productive OF much
good the long list of those who have
taken the pledge will show. 1t is not
the intention Of the temperance workers
to allow the interest to subside. The
committees appointed for work in the
country and other organizations will
hold meetings at least onoe a week, and
the subject of q reading room Is again
being agitated. On Saturday evening
next a grand temperance rally will be
held at the Congregational church and
on Wednesday evening of next week the
Methodist church will be the scene of an
interesting gathering.

little has been accomplished or attempted
in the way of agricultural. development,
this notwithstanding that there isa very
considerable acreage of tillable land in
Southern Alaska with soil that produces
most luxurious vegetation. Experiments
which have been made leave no room for
doubt that all the cereals except corn can
be grown to perfection i'll many sections.
NO STOCK RAISING.
Nothing has yet been done in the way of
stock raising. On the subject of mine and
minerals the Governor says wonderful re-
suits are being produced The great mine
and mill on Douglas Island have been in
steady operation during the year, turning
out gold bullion at the rate of Sl00, 900 per
month. At one point Boston company is
erecting mill with 100 head of

put in operation in Silver Bow basin,

also been made in the region of BerneI's

A NEW BOSS In POLITICS.
MAYOR HEWITT AIMS A BLOW AT
JOSEPH PULITZER.

He Declares That the Newspaper Die

in Politics NicoIps Nomination De-
clared a Republican Stratagem to
Demoralize the Democrats.
New YORK, Nov. Mayor Hewitt
takes hand in the political fight to-day by
writing letter to the Secretary of the
Harlem Democratic Club. His honor
makes the following points: After the
Presidential election of 1876 this country
became tired of what was called boss rule
1t determined to pnt an end to personal
politics. took an active part in the move
ment, and was punished by refusal on the
part of the Democratic machine TO renomi-
nate me for Congress. | do not know
of the existence of any such bosses
in this city at this time. If they exist, it
seems to me that the Mayor in the dis
charge of his appainting powers would
have encountered them. They have not
materialized at the Mayors office, and no
demands have been made upon me in their
behalf
THE NEW BOSS.
"But / have encountered another and new
kind of boss, who has given me great deal
VI uIlnOuSuO duflC6 d diuOuuU VI
unnecessary bulldozing refer to the news
paper boss. Sitting in his editorial Sanctum
like brooding Buddha, he does not hesitate
to claim omnipotence and to endow
himself with omnipoteuce. The political
boss is responsible only to his party. The
newspaper boss is responsible to hil own
pocket. He is as dangerous as he is despotic.
He must be suppressed, otherwise parties,
upon the healthful existence of which free
government depends, will be destroyed, and
voters will be compelled to choose between
newspaper tickets instead Of party nomina-
tions.
FoMENTING DISCoRD.
The Republicans who III my own case
refused to indorse the Democratic candidate
were prompt enough to seize an opportunity
to foment discord in the ranks of their
opponent by the open nomination of two
Democrats, thus making the humlliating
confession that they have no men
in their own party who have the
courage and ability 30 effect reform,
promote justice and punish crime. The de-
duction from these facts is clear that the
Nicol movement. is in its inception a news
paper advertising dodge and in its cOnclu-
sion a diSgraceful stratagem of the Repub-
lican managers to demoraltze the Demo
cratic party, in the hope that the confusion
thus produced will determine the Presiden-
tial contest of 1855 in favor IF the politicians
who were driven from power in 1884 by the
election of Grover Cleveland y
